The Padres need a win Monday in Miami to get a split with the Marlins before moving onto the tougher parts of their 10-game, 10-day eastern swing.

Starting Tuesday, the Padres will be playing a three-game series against the Red Sox in Fenway Park. Then it’s on to Washington for three games against the Nationals before returning to Petco Park next Monday for a seven-game homestand (against Arizona and San Francisco) that will take the Padres to the All-Star break.
